ISS and STS133 Discovery (Last Flight)

Pass of ISS and STS133 Discovery on its last mission. Feb. 27, 2011. Craft disappear at left as they go into the Earth’s shadow. Travel was from west to east, here from right to left. Notice the pyramid of light in the west from Zodiacal Light in the evening sky. This pass started at 7:41 pm MST. It is a stack of 2 x 4 minute exposure, at f/4 with Sigma 8mm fish-eye lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. Tracked on AP Mach 1 mount. The sky was slightly hazy. Orion and Canis Major are at the bottom above the southern horizon.
